• Frigid Aura. At the start of each of the marid’s turns, each creature within 10 feet of it takes 7 (2d6) cold damage. A creature that touches the marid or hits it with a melee attack while within 10 feet of it takes 7 (2d6) cold damage. A creature must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw each minute it spends in the aura or gain one level of exhaustion.
• Innate Spellcasting. It’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 17, +9 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
  • At will: create or destroy water, detect evil and good, detect magic, speak with animals (water-based creatures only)
  • 3/day each: control water, tongues, water walk, water breathing
  • 1/day each: conjure elemental (water elemental only), gaseous form, invisibility, major image, plane shift Riptide. If a creature is more than 10 feet away from the marid and it hits the marid with an attack, it must succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 10 feet closer to the marid.

Drench (Ex): The marid’s touch puts out all open flames of non-magical origin that are its size category or smaller.

Spell-Like Abilities:

• At will – control water, Create Water, Detect Magic, dispel fire, gaseous form, invisibility, planeshift, purify drink, see invisibility, solid fog, water breathing;
• 3/day – air breathing, Transformation of the Deeps**;
• 1/day – limited wish (to nongenies only), maelstrom** (DC 21).

Caster level 14th.

• *Genies can plane shift to the Inner, Astral and Material Planes.
• **Stormwrack

Change Shape (Su): They can assume the form of any humanoid, giant or aquatic creature its size or smaller.

Vortex (Su): A marid can transform itself into a whirlpool once every 10 minutes and remain in that form for up to 10 rounds. In this form, it can move through the water or along the bottom at its Swim speed.

The whirlpool is 5 feet wide at the base, up to 30 feet wide at the top and up to 50 feet tall. the genie controls the exact height, but it must be at least 10 feet.

A marid’s movement while in whirlpool form does not provoke attacks of opportunity, even if the marid enters the space another creature occupies. Another creature might be caught in the whirlpool if it touches or enters the whirlpool, or if the marid moves into or through the creature’s space.

Creatures one or more size categories smaller than the marid might take damage when caught in the whirlpool and may be swept up by it. An affected creature must succeed on a DC 28 Reflex save when it comes into contact with the whirlpool or take 3d6 points of damage. It must also succeed on a second DC 28 Reflex save or be picked up bodily and held suspended in the powerful currents, automatically taking 1d8 points of damage each round.

A creature with a Swim speed is allowed a DC 28 Reflex save each round to escape the whirlpool. The creature still takes damage but can leave if the save is successful. The save DC is Strength-based and includes a +3 racial adjustment.

Creatures trapped in the whirlpool cannot move except to go where the marid carries them or to escape the whirlpool. Creatures caught in the whirlpool can otherwise act normally, but must make a Concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) to cast a spell. Creatures caught in the whirlpool take a -4 penalty to Dexterity and a -2 penalty on attack rolls. The marid can have only as many trapped inside a whirlpool at one time as will fit inside the whirlpool’s volume.

They can eject any carried creatures whenever it wishes, depositing them wherever the whirlpool happens to be.

If the whirlpool’s base touches the ground, it creates a swirling cloud of debris. This cloud is centered on the marid and has a diameter equal to half the whirlpool’s height. The cloud obscures all vision, including Darkvision, beyond 5 feet. Creatures 5 feet away have concealment, while those farther away have total concealment.

Those caught in the cloud must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) to cast a spell.

A marid in whirlpool form cannot make melee attacks and does not threaten the area around it.

Water Mastery (Ex): A marid gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls if both it and its foe touch the water. If an opponent or marid is landbound, the marid suffers a -4 penalty on attack and damage rolls. (These are not included in the marid’s stat block)

Possessions:

Marids typically carry +1 harpoons and wear +3 sharkskin armor.
